Error playing MPD

[Waldmann94]

I am trying to use my own mpd with your TAPAS Player. When using your suggested MPD things work fine, but I receive the following Errors: 2016-12-15 13:50:50+0100 [-] Log opened. 2016-12-15 13:50:50+0100 [-] trying to open fifo 2016-12-15 13:50:50+0100 [-] URLtoMyMPD.mpd 2016-12-15 13:50:50+0100 [-] Traceback (most recent call last): 2016-12-15 13:50:50+0100 [-] File "TAPAS/play.py", line 139, in 2016-12-15 13:50:50+0100 [-] select_player() 2016-12-15 13:50:50+0100 [-] File "TAPAS/play.py", line 131, in select_player 2016-12-15 13:50:50+0100 [-] player.play() 2016-12-15 13:50:50+0100 [-] File "TAPAS/TapasPlayer.py", line 123, in play 2016-12-15 13:50:50+0100 [-] self.parser.loadPlaylist() 2016-12-15 13:50:50+0100 [-] File "TAPAS/parsers/DASH_mp4Parser.py", line 104, in loadPlaylist 2016-12-15 13:50:50+0100 [-] if "@range" in json_representation[j]["SegmentBase"]["Initialization"].keys(): 2016-12-15 13:50:50+0100 [-] KeyError: 'SegmentBase'

Looking at both MPD files I see the following for any one representation:

<SegmentTemplate duration="2000" initialization="$RepresentationID$/init.mp4" media="$RepresentationID$/$Number$.m4s" startNumber="1" timescale="1000"/>
<Representation bandwidth="1018420" codecs="avc1.4D401F" frameRate="24" height="480" id="V4" scanType="progressive" mimeType="video/mp4" width="1128"/>

<Representation bandwidth="869460" codecs="avc1.4d401e" height="480" id="3" mimeType="video/mp4" width="854">
        <BaseURL>car-20120827-87.mp4</BaseURL>
        <SegmentBase indexRange="708-1183">
          <Initialization range="0-707" />
        </SegmentBase>
      </Representation>

Does your player only accept this one certain form of encoding?

Hi there,

Indeed I've encountered the same problems when working with TAPAS. In fact it does not accept all variants of MPEG DASH manifest files. I've created my test sequences with mp4box and the following parameters:

mp4box -dash 2000 -profile ondemand -single-segment your_input_file.mp4

TAPAS should be able to work with those.
